The community spans 4,850 acres along Muskrat Dam Lake in the Kenora District. Daily life blends tradition and modern services. Residents continue to hunt, trap, and fish year-round, while also maintaining key infrastructure including a water treatment plant, diesel-generated power, and a local airport.

Education in the community is rooted in local support. Samson Beardy Memorial School offers classes from junior kindergarten to grade 8, while Wahsa Distance Education Centre and NNEC provide continued learning opportunities for high school and post-secondary students in urban centres.

With a dedicated radio station, volunteer firefighters, youth centre, gymnasium, and community hall, Muskrat Dam First Nation continues to prioritize well-being, connection, and cultural resilience.
